Hello blog land, remember me? I'm still alive and well and using my time to pursue a few different things these days such as swing dancing and working on my shop. Speaking of which, after giving Storenvy and the Rose Street Artist's Market a crack, I decided to relaunch my shop on the Etsy marketplace over the Easter weekend. All the old favourites are up and I'm currently working on some new designs that will be available in the next month or two.

I may come back to blogging sometime this year, but in the mean time you can find me over at my Etsy store as well as on Facebook and Instagram. I've also closed my old 'Shop My Wardrobe' shop but will be selling my clothing from time to time on eBay. Au revoir for now and take care!

A few months ago I participated in a Clearasil campaign where I blogged about a day in my life and tested out the Clearasil Daily Clear Vitamins & Extracts Scrub and Clearasil Daily Clear Vitamins & Extracts Wash. The last part of the campaign, an ebook featuring tips on how to feel confident and look good, has now also been completed! The Clearasil Look Good Feel Good ebook features tips from myself and fourteen other Australian bloggers on how to stay positive and confident throughout the day no matter what life throws at you!

Tip #1 My tip to looking good is to find a great foundation that matches your skin tone, allowing you to stay confident on problem skin days. I recommend a mineral powder foundation such as Everyday Minerals as it gives good coverage while looking natural and won't clog pores.

Tip #2 My tip to feeling good is to find an exercise you really enjoy and do it regularly. Any exercise that gets your heart rate up and you enjoy such as dancing, running, Pilates or cycling, releases endorphins and can help you feel more happy and confident.

If you're curious about how the Clearasil Daily Clear Vitamins & Extracts range could help your skin, here's a quick summary: The Vitamins & Extracts range is milder than other Clearasil lines and contains fruit extracts known for their skin conditioning properties. The use of nourishing ingredients such as vitamin E, avocado and pomegranate extract mean that the products are suitable to use as part of a daily regime. The lower percentage of salycilic acid is gentle enough to keep skin from feeling dry while strong enough to help keep it blemish-free. I've also just found out that the Daily Wash can double as a mask, which I'll be trying for myself very soon!
